Become a sponsor of the 53rd Annual Festival of Whales!
At the Dana Point Festival of Whales, it’s about getting up close and personal with the marine wildlife that dots our horizon each spring. It’s about understanding marine life habitats and protecting these delicate areas for generations to come. And it’s about coming together with family to celebrate the stunning beauty and scenic wonder of our home we call Dana Point. From the smaller minke whales to mid-sized humpbacks and gigantic (but gentle) gray whales, the Dana Point Festival of Whales offers a rare opportunity to see some of nature’s most elusive creatures in their own habitats.
Festivals like ours don’t happen without the generous support of sponsors and our local community. We hope that you consider partnering with us for our 53rd Anniversary, as we celebrate the migration of the gray whale through Southern California.
